The Male Contraceptive Gel

And, finally this week, some breaking health news. 

After decades of research, (at last) there’s been a breakthrough in birth control for men. New research has found that a contraceptive gel to lower their sperm count is safe, effective and starts working more quickly than similar male contraceptives also in development. 

In the past, questions have been raised over whether women would really trust men to take contraception, especially if it’s with someone they’ve just met.

This is a gel, which men simply rub on their shoulders – and it reduces the sperm count in under 8 weeks.

Not sure of the exact details, but it should be available very soon as it’s all over the net and social media.

Of course, birth control shouldn’t be treated as solely the women’s issue. This is a move towards men taking responsibility – which can only be a good thing.
